Diamonds? Ball gowns? Chandeliers?

All the finest in life. Everything a girl could want.

Lady Marie is the daughter of the Grand Duke of Celandine. Happy in her world of riches, ladies in waiting, and handsome suitors, there's nothing more she could want. . . .

Except maybe winning over Lord Dianthus. 

Lady Beatrice is one of Marie's maidens in waiting. Cold, formal and the stark opposite of Marie's beauty, yet, she has captured the heart of Marie's close friend, Charles, the son of a knight by title.

Will their friendship stand the test of a love triangle? 

Marie's younger brother, Robert, learns things about the royal family that could form a political scandal. 

Meanwhile, there is growing romantic tension at the Grand Duke's household and a bold plan proposed by the young friends could lead them all into serious danger.

The Prince would still be my heir, even though you're the Empress.‟ ‟Then why keep me, Sire, if I am of no use to you? It's obvious that you do not intend to add any more members to the imperial family besides yourself and the Prince, so why marry me?‟ *** Gianita, a princess from an eastern country is sent to marry the widowed Emperor of Angletonia, a vast and prosperous empire in the western hemisphere. To her dismay, the Emperor prefers the companion of his young son instead of his new bride. There were no traces of his previous marriage, only that the wife died shortly after the Prince was born.

Sure, she gets the occasional slap from her Mother, and lives in the poor section of her Country being overly bored with her life, but she's at least normal. Except when you couple those details with the fact that she has crippling anxiety that makes communicating, or doing anything around others torturous for her. This is the main reason why she can never receive her Mother's love that she so desperately wants. Until, her parents catch wind that the Royal Academy is opening back up. The Academy is accepting one fifteen year old or older girl or boy to compete in a race to become the next monarch of Alumbridge. Her Mother is overjoyed at the news, until she realizes she only has one option to send there. So here we are, anxiety-ridden Catherine forced to compete in this competition with other people her age just to help her family with finances, and finally receive affection from her mother. Things at the Academy are alright, rocky, but overall she's alright. She's just passing by. Until, she discovers some dark truths against her world that she can't bear to ignore any further. These truths both propel her into action, and cause her to question all she's known her entire sheltered life.

(Completed) "Want, Isadora? I don't want you. I need you," The royal neared her, his dark jaw set tight as his sharp brown orbs bore into hers. "I need you to be mine," He husked, his voice etched with firm desperation. "I could raze this entire kingdom to the ground with the fire I feel for you. I would kill for you, die for you. I need you to realize that. I need you to put that in a goddamned glass and drink it in." ༄ 𝘼 𝙇𝙖𝙙𝙮 𝙞𝙣 𝙥𝙧𝙚𝙩𝙚𝙣𝙨𝙚 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙖 𝙆𝙞𝙣𝙜. 1789.

But soon she learns that all her strength and patience will be tested greatly, when the invitation to the royal ball throws her into the path of his highness the Prince's intimidating and daunting foreign cousin-the thirty year old Alexander Casimir of the kingdom of Angria. *[cinderella AU, mature read; violence, eventual smut, slowburn romance, mental health. 18+ only please.] Highest Rankings; #7 in 'princess' out of 60k stories. #1 in 'cinderella' out of 8.83k stories #1 in 'historical romance' out of 2.73k stories #1 in 'ballroom' out of 1.52k stories #1 in 'single mother' out of 878 stories #1 in 'versailles' out of 204 stories #1 in 'royalcore' out of 282 stories #1 in 'waltdisney' out of 410 stories
